Some odds and ends for today

If you miss FC Barcelona here or want to see it again, the Spanish club will play CD Chivas de Guadalajara (the REAL Chivas) of Mexico in San Francisco at Candlestick Park on Aug. 8. Tickets go on sale Monday. It’s an 8 p.m. start, preceded by San Jose Earthquakes at Columbus Crew at 5:30.

The Washington Post’s Steve Goff reports that Jaime Moreno, DC United’s captain, is out of tonight’s match with a hamstring injury. Goff also writes the following:

Wednesday’s game will mark United’s first visit to Seattle since a 1-1 exhibition tie with European titan Real Madrid almost three years ago.

Don’t forget that the game is on ESPN2 tonight at 7:30. One of the best names in the game, besides Fred, is here with the United, Thabiso “Boyzzz” Khumalo. Yeah, Boyyyzzzz! Sorry, had to go a little Flavor Flav there circa 1990.
